Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part III
Anyone with any experience with this kind of issue have any recommendation of the best online retailer to pre-order from in terms of likelihood of the disc getting to my door before any kind of halted sale/recall situation?

DVD Talk Legend
Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part III
Wizard of Oz and Gone WIth The Wind, 2 movies it seems need to be in my collection but I never watch. Last time I saw GWTW was 20 years ago, my wife and I watched it on video tape while she was having contractions waiting to go to the hospital for my son. Picked up 2 DVD versions and didn't watch either one. Wizard I've got the SE, but besides popping in over the rainbow haven't watched it.
I'm guessing at some point I'll grab the Blu's and not watch them either.

They better release them in standard BD cases and not those gigantic boxes like I Am Legend and Casablanca.

Re: Blu-ray release announcements - Part III
If those pictures are any indication, seems like WB is heading towards only offering those extremely expensive additions for some of their classic films. Means that I'll likely hold off for a release that doesn't contain items that hold no interest to me but increase the cost at least $20 like postcards and other collectibles. Tempted to just buy the HD DVD of Casablanca due to this.

The boxes can be a pain to store, and I can't image the thinking behind placing I am Legend in one next to either of these two films. It's like history is repeating itself with WB and the bigger sets.

I know the original poster only posted a link to these on jan 9, but this artwork has been around for many months. I doubt if the final artwork is anything like this.
